title: Bio-technologies for a glandular stem cell cardiomyopexy.
abstract: The glandular stem cell cardiomyopexy should become a treatment option for end-stage heart failure. It combines an expected regenerative potential of transformed adult glandular stem cells into cardiomyocytes within the myocardium or onto the myocardium of the recipient and the potential of a hypercapillarized latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) wrapped around the heart for stem cell nutrition and girdling.
